If Volvo’s technology, deathproof becomes a reality in 2020, no one may be killed or seriously injured during crashes, particularly in latest Volvo car or SUV.

While most automakers are concentrating on debuting driverless vehicles by 2010, Volvo that it would reduce death rate through new technology and make driving safer.

Chief Executive Officer, Volvo Cars North America,LexKerssemakers, while speaking about the technology said: “If you meet Swedish engineers, they’re pretty genuine, they don’t say things when they don’t believe in it.”

“With the development of full autonomy we are going to push the limits of automotive safety, because if you make a fully autonomous vehicle you have to think through everything that potentially can happen with a car.” Volvo safety engineer, Erik Coelingh said

 However, there is a big warning. Should people really want to hurt themselves, Volvo can’t do anything about that. But, according to the organisation, assuming you’re not a suicidal maniac you’ll be safer driving a new Volvo. According to data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, there are nine vehicle models — including the Volvo XC90 — in which no one in the United States died from 2009 to 2012, the most recent period for which data is available. Volvo is likely to make the technology available for its entire vehicle line up throughout the world.
